Jennie completed her education at the University of Pittsburgh and has dedicated over three decades to her career as a physical therapist. In 1995, she decided to relocate to North Carolina with her husband. They currently reside in Waxhaw and have three daughters. 

Upon entering college, Jennie was a dance major, where she was introduced to the transformative practice of Pilates. It was her personal experience with injuries that sparked a deep fascination with rehabilitation. Driven by her passion, she not only became a licensed physical therapist but sought certification to become a Pilates instructor. 

While Jennie had already gained valuable experience working with patients recovering from breast cancer surgery, it was through the Core Compassion Project scholarships that she witnessed the profound impact on not only their physical impairments but also their emotional and mental well-being. 

In the spring of 2023, Jennie received an invitation to join the Board of Directors. Alongside the fulfillment she finds in teaching Pilates to these women, she actively engages in soliciting financial support and donations from businesses and individuals. As she continues on this meaningful journey, Jennie eagerly anticipates uncovering new avenues where she can serve and make a significant difference in the lives of others.
